Are you asking yourself why you can't move past something? If you will ever feel better? The process of healing trauma through therapy is a journey - one that can provide an opportunity for growth with help and support. Traditional talk therapy often attempts to rationalize what seems to be irrational. The fact is, our nervous systems react in ways that make perfect sense in the face of traumatic experiences. As a clinician, I provide a safe, nurturing, and empathetic therapeutic experience. My goal is to provide an opportunity for my clients to express their pain and hardships as we explore ways to move towards resiliency, fulfillment, wellness, while gaining a greater sense of freedom to be their authentic, relaxed, joyful selves. You are not broken. You do not need to suffer in life. And you do not need to bear the burden alone. I am looking forward to hearing your story and walking alongside you in this journey.

You deserve to feel well and live your most authentic life. When life feels overwhelming, our minds can convince us that we are alone in our daily challenges and during our most difficult times. We get used to handling it on our own. I believe there is a better way. Working with a psychotherapist who can deeply connect with where you are on your healing journey can be transformative. Transformation might look like addressing symptoms, resolving a problem, or seeking something more. By guiding you to deeper insights and clearer understandings, together, we are better able to confront the barriers that may be holding you back from the life you want to live. Being here tells me you desire and are ready for change. We will work together to identify behaviors, thought patterns, and barriers that may be preventing you from reaching your goals. I will guide you through modalities that will help you let go of suffering, problematic behaviors, self-limiting beliefs, and symptoms (including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger/irritability, sleep problems, fatigue, trouble with attention/focus, and more). I will provide tools to help you embrace a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthen your coping mechanisms, improve your mood, and thrive...

I am accepting new clients. Much of my clinical experience has involved working with adults, teens, and their families impacted by addiction, co-occurring mental health issues, anxiety, mood disorders, and adverse childhood experiences. As a practitioner I aim to build a relationship with each of my clients that involves the foundational elements of meeting individuals where they are at, developing trust, and displaying unconditional positive regard. I utilize therapeutic skills in sessions that are solution-focused and healing-centered. I believe that every individual possesses the strength and potential to work through life’s problems. I seek to help my clients discover this potential and learn skills and strategies that will help them to achieve their goals. At the core of every therapeutic relationship is the alliance that an individual develops with their therapist. Working with people who have a diverse number of identities and backgrounds, I value, honor, and celebrate differences. I look forward to cultivating a strong, working relationship with each of my clients.

Welcome! I am really glad you are here.

This is a chance for us to work together and explore how your specific experiences in your life have led you here, what parts of those experiences still influence your life today, and ultimately how I can help you find peace once again in this world. ​I believe that healing comes from within.  I am here to simply guide you, not tell you what to do.  My focus is on helping you find your unique path to peace and healing. The approach that I take in individual therapy is natural and holistic and client centered.

Are you ready to break the cycle of anxiety, unhelpful patterns, and reorganize your thoughts? EMDR therapy can help you let go of circular thinking and patterns of worry connected to a distressing memory. It also facilitates the reorganization of thoughts, feelings, and memories related to the memory. When the memory is reorganized in the brain, it is no longer closely tied to the emotions and stimuli attached to it. This provides relief and can feel as though the memory is distant or “fuzzy” and no longer feelings like it has control over your experience.  Would you benefit from fostering a new, more positive belief system? Traumatic or distressing events can largely impact our internal dialogue and EMDR therapy can change negative dialogue to more positive dialogue and self-beliefs. These new positive self-beliefs, in turn, impact your perspective of yourself,  your relationships, your behavioral choices, and your experience with the world.  I consider it a privilege to be a part of your process and will be present with you as you experience healing and build resiliency. I look forward to being a part of your journey toward meaningful change, emotional healing, and self-discovery. Give me a call today to set...
